So Incredibly Lucky
I don't really have too many friends which would understand this - so I thought I should share here, where more people will understand it.
I have been blessed with a massive list of alumni who all are so eager to help, provide insights and are overall great people. I've had an insane over 75% hit rate with my school's alumni. People consider my school a non-target, which helps increase the hit rate and how helpful alumni are. They understand the grind and how hard it is to break in (which makes they more likely to reply [at least this is my thinking]). On the flip-side of this, despite my school being a non-target as far most would think, we have OCR for around 5 MM investment banks as well as two BBs. Furthermore, school alumni which have self-selected that they are willing to meet with students include:
5 MDs at MF PEs
10 MDs at BB/EBs
20 partners/MDs at MMs
3 PMs at large asset managers like PIMCO
150 analysts and associates
and 5 heads or co-heads of a firm's PE or IB practices
When I first enrolled at this school, I never thought that alumni would be so helpful, or in such high places. I am so excited and happy that things are working out so well on the networking front. I am not a very charismatic person, so I went into college thinking I would struggle to connect with people at these firms.
sounds like you don't go to a non-target then?? lmao what
Lol right. Only on campus recruiting at my school was for financial advising smh
.
Nice
Congrats, but idk how so many people are convinced of what they want to do after university before even joining, not only IB (which I didn't even know when I joined university)
>claims he goes to a nontarget
>says alumni includes:
5 MDs at MF PEs
10 MDs at BB/EBs

>profit?!

150 analysts and associates. OK, let’s say 3 years each. 150/6 = 25 per class. If your school is sending 25 per year to IB/similar roles, it’s probably at least semi-target?
.
it sounds like we went to the same school.
If I have to guess I will say Rochester ?
Are you at a state school? I'd guess UGA, maybe UF.
If so, some of those top schools can be pretty solid IB feeders, given acceptance rate/cost. You have to hustle but it's all there for you.
